Given that my purpose for writing is so people will judge it - positively or negatively - I would simply write something else! Give me judgement! Give me readers who care about my words, whatever that response is, at least I will have generated emotion. #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity

Do you think i have enough craft books to fix this character arc issue? No? Do you have a favourite writing craft book? #amwriting #amediting #writingcraft #writesky #writingtips

Sometimes writing isn't wordcount increases and sprints and edits Sometimes it's thinky showers and staring at a wall and carrying a notebook everywhere Anyone else in the percolation stage between drafts? #amwriting #writesky #writerslife #writingcommunity

When the book needs work but life admin keeps getting in the way 😭 Now, booking a holiday is the BEST kind of admin, but does it need so many hours of research? (I have a toddler. Yes it does.) Destination chosen. Can we go back to the fictional world now? 😅 #writinglife #booksky #writesky

Nothing like that finished draft feeling! *immediately starts outlining draft 3* #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity

Ah I am really struggling to focus on the writing this week! What are your tricks for getting your head in the zone when other things get so loud? #writingcommunity #writesky #amwriting #mediating #writerslife

Hi writers!! What's something new you've tried lately with your writing, and how did it go? I did a load of work on my plotting recently and I am officially a plotting-spreadsheet convert 😍 (though I do get so impatient about it!) #writesky #writerslife #writingadvice #amwriting #writingcommunity

I started reading Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer and this is a real problem... How am I supposed to put this book down to write my own when EVERY CHAPTER GOES THIS HARD??? #booksky #amwriting #amreading #writerslife #writesky

Just sitting down to write after... 45 minutes spent scrolling through YouTube reels on the TV. The downtime was needed, but maybe I should work on picking up a book instead. What writing habits are you trying to break this year? #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky #writerslife

My Story So Far Ten years ago, January 2016, I made a resolution. I was going to be a Proper Writer. I’d written books before (mostly fanfic), but this time I would to do it properly. I'd write every day. I'd seek feedback, and edit, and query. So I did. 1/6 #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity

Writers! I want to know, what are your huge, big, probably-delusional dreams for the year? Let's manifest! I'm gonna query for the fourth time, and this time it's gonna be ALL THE REQUESTS 🥰🥰🥰 #writingcommunity #writesky #amwriting #amquerying #writerslife

I can't quite tell if I miss the holiday or if I'm excited to get back into a proper writing routine... but it was nice to have a productive evening! Do you find your writing thrives or suffers during the holidays? #writerslife #writesky #writingcommunity #amwriting

New year: same me! In 2026, I continue striving for traditional publication, working on improving my craft, helping other writers... this time with bonus social media goals! What are your writing goals for 2026? #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #amquerying

In this time of year, I think it's important to focus on the difference between goals and dreams - what's in your control vs what isn't - and being kind to yourself when life happens. But we have these goals for a reason. Plans to write. To learn. To look after ourselves. Cont.

Me: "it's important to take breaks with writing, especially at this time of year. Life is busy, don't worry about your wordcounts." Also Me: HELP I'VE NOT HAD TIME TO WRITE IN 3 DAYS AND I'M GETTING ITCHY #writersky #writerscommunity #writesky #amwriting #booksky

I may be socially awkward but hanging out with writers is so easy. Just so nice to chat about books and story and magic. Writers really are my favourite people 🥰 #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writinggroups #amwritingfantasy

Who here has commissioned artwork for their books? I've got a commission in progress and I am soooooo excited to see my characters!! Share your artwork with meeeee I want to see it all! 👀 #writesky #writersky #writingcommunity

I may have been slightly obsessed with this podcast this year. Any other fans out there? What are your fave writing podcasts? #WritingLife #BookSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #TurningToStory #WritingPodcasts #Podcasts

Me: So excited to have a day off work to focus on writing. I love having some focus time 🤩 My toddler, at 4:30 am: 👁👁 playtime? #writesky #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #butnotwillingly

So close to meeting my November writing goal but my headache says today we take a time out. Why is it so hard to take breaks! What are your go-tos when you need to relax despite wanting to write through? I'm thinking Stranger Things, hehehe #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky

Spent the evening brainstorming for a beta reader and while my book didn't get touched, I am so excited to see where hers will go next!! What's your fave part of beta reading? #betareading #critiquepartner #writesky #booksky #ambetareading

Writers, what are some of your favourite feedback moments? Here are some of my favourite quotes so far coming through from beta readers enjoying Draft 2 of Brew Off! #amwriting #amediting #writersky #authorsky #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity

The issue with revamping my social media and following/interacting with writers all over the place is now I just want to read 100 new books and my TBR trolley is already a health risk #writersky #booksky #writingcommunity
